    The military displays are excellent even if you’re into that sort of thing. We wandered around the various levels and lasted about an hour before we surrendered our interest.

    I visited this park and it was a beautiful experience. Just so lovely. I took a trip on their railway around the park to see more of it. Lovely place to have a picnic. Lots of space for families of all ages to play or relax. The sun was shining and I had a great time feeding the swans and ducks. Highly recommend giving this park a visit when in Leeds

    We visited the Farm and was quite disappointed. Not many animals here anymore and no birds due to bird flu.
    It all seems quite run down and old, despite the rising charges to get in.
    To add insult to injury we were forced to park in the 'pay and display' area, which is badly signed and no machines around. We asked how to pay and were told to pay in the shop when purchasing farm tickets. Which we did. We asked if they needed our vehicle registration as proof, to be told to show the receipt on the way out.
    On the way out the man did not ask for the receipt and just waved us out. Therefore we paid an extra £4.50 for nothing.
    The grounds are lovely to walk around and parking is free at the bottom near go ape but it gets busy. Will return but give the farm a miss which is a shame as I used to love it growing up.

    Great walk around! A place to burn a few hours and get an inspiring walk and lots of information boards to learn more about the whole abbey

    We liked the Victorian street in the downstairs section - the archive video of an actual amputation is not for the squeamish. Upstairs features displays of medical equipment. The man with the leaches was an unexpected late morning treat. Tickets purchased in person are valid for a year whereas online tickets are not.

    Great evening. Seating a bit tight with feet having to tuck under seat rather than being able to stretch out legs unless you want to get your feet trapped by seat in front if they move.

    Cannot remember which row we were in but slightly to right of middle of stage and slightly above level of camera filming Jason, but view was brilliant.

    We’ve visited the house before in the Christmas season and this year it wasn’t as good as precious years displays. We did enjoy the penguins and the bird garden, and our daughter had a great time in the playground. The curiosity cabin hardly has anything in it to do this year, and there was no activities and crafts on the courtyard as there has been previously.
    It was a nice family day out, but at £49 for the three of us it didn’t feel like value for money, when so much was not as good as it has been before.

    Lovely old building with magnificent ceiling!
    Good view from most seats and the ushers do their job well in keeping people quiet….
    Plenty of toilets and bar space for those that need it -very close to lots of good restaurants…

    i visited here on “learn about butterflies day” as i heard they have butterflies there. you enter through the gift shop which is unusual, i was drawn to a beautiful rubber butterfly toy which turned out to be a stingray so i put it back. i wanted a butterfly toy but they only had this beautiful rubber sting ray. once inside the attraction i felt very cold, i recommend taking a jumper as they have to keep the temperature down for the button flies to thrive in there. i saw a few butterflies but i didn’t look very hard and for a lot of the time i had my eyes closed due to the light (there was light inside). i saw many interesting things including two men in a cage, a bit of pink lady apple (my favourite apple), an elusive broom. there were lots of warning signs about. apparently you can’t give money to the animals or touch the water. i like to be able to do what i want so i found this to be difficult. overall i give them 4 out of 5 as it was the best day of my life so far
    yours sincerely

    We went to see Dick Whittington Rock & Roll Panto. I've always wanted to go to The City Varieties but never had the chance before. Its a fantastic little theatre & every seat feels as though you can touch the stage.
    The panto was excellent, laugh out loud funny, & the actors super talented to play multiple instruments so well. We will definitely be booking for next year's show.

    Michael Marks, of Marks & Spencer fame, started his penny bazaar here in 1884. Today, there is a tiny M&S in the market. You can find almost anything and everything in the market from fresh fish to bedheads, watch batteries to washing machine parts.

    The building is an architectural delight. It is full of funky shops including The Great Yorkshire Shop which was perfect for souvenir and present buying.

    First time for my kids watching ‘proper’ football. Loved it. Traffic round the ground is crazy, as expected, but the park and ride is good and just a short walk to the turnstile. MOT
